• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to join my colleagues in congratulating you and our Deputy Speaker on your election. I also want to extend congratulations to all the new Members of Parliament and the ones who are continuing with me. Special congratulations and maximum respect to the people of Roysambu who have returned me to Parliament for a second term. This is my third term in Parliament, having served in the Sixth Parliament, the 11th Parliament and now serving in the 12th Parliament. I thank the people of Roysambu, starting from Soweto all the way to Marurui, ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. First, I congratulate you and your team for your humour, mastery of the Standing Orders, and your management capacity of this big House. I thank the people of Roysambu who brought me to this House. I have tried my best to live to my promises and the agenda which was the platform on which I sought their votes namely improvement of primary schools, expansion of secondary schools, reclamation of public utilities which had been grabbed and ensuring that there is fairness in the distribution of the NG-CDF bursaries. It might please ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion by my colleague, Hon. Yusuf, from Kamukunji. I want to congratulate him on this occasion. Kamukunji grounds are a historic place which is synonymous to the second liberation struggle. I was there during the Kamukunji rally that was attended by the doyen of Kenya Opposition politics, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, and the likes of Philip Gachoka, Charles Rubia, Martin Shikuku and Kenneth Matiba. As I speak, that field is neglected. It has no infrastructure or protection. It is important for the ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: my constituency. There is also Kahawa Grounds, Jamhuri Grounds, Dagoretti Grounds, Dandora Grounds and Makadara Grounds. I want to thank the Member for Makadara, Benson Mutura, for using his NGCDF to convert Makadara Grounds to Toyoyo Stadium, which is bringing in a lot of money and is being used as recreation grounds by the young people of that constituency. You will note that our forefathers and the people who used to call shots in City Hall shortly after Independence were very mindful of the residents of Nairobi. That is why they set aside all these public spaces for recreation for ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This is done by officials at City Hall, who collude with Ardhi House mandarins, to issue title deeds for public facilities. That is why it has become very difficult for Nairobi County Government to provide space for recreation and sporting activities for our young people, who instead indulge in anti-social activities. The faster we reclaim these grounds and turn them into sports utilities, the better for the young people of this country. The youth can use their time fairly well in creative activities like boxing and athletics. Time has come for this country to put up a freedom museum where ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We all know that the remains of Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi have never been located although the Government knows that he was buried in my constituency at Kamiti Prison. It is very unfair that Mukami Kimathi will one day go to her grave without burying the remains of her husband. It is important that our Government engages the British Government to show us where Kimathi was buried when Mrs. Mukami Kimathi and her family are still alive. It is unfair that every year we celebrate Heroes’ Day, Kenyatta Day and Madaraka Day at Uhuru Park, yet we do not know ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you for the point of information, but the last time I checked, one of my polling stations was in Kamiti Prison. All the prisoners at Kamiti Prison voted for me. That is not a point of contest. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you were also voted for at Kamiti Prison Primary School. My concern is about the preservation of public utilities in our constituencies and in our counties, particularly in Nairobi, where 70 per cent of public utility land has been grabbed. We urge the National Land Commission (NLC) to reclaim and repossess all that land. Recently, in Zimmerman area within my constituency, we identified a public utility space of about an acre that had been set aside for a recreation facility for a secondary school by the Zimmerman Housing Company. Today, it has been grabbed and occupied. ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: plot. One of these fine days, when you see us in social media or in newspapers being accused of reclaiming land that belongs to the public, know that we are trying to protect public facilities in Zimmerman. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for casting your eyes on Waihenya Ndirangu, the son of Wanjiru. I wish to declare my support for this Motion by the Member for Kiminini who is also my brother-in-law. He has betrothed our daughter. We cannot say that we are proud of promoting democracy in Kenya if over 6,000 of our young people do not have identity cards (IDs). You know that universal popular suffrage is an important beacon of measuring democracy. So, it means we are doing very poorly in Kenya if we have disenfranchised over 6,000 young people who cannot be ... view
